[@sharilynbratton6476]

They make me emotional too; their song Russia on Ice makes me cry because it makes me think of my son and his alcoholism and because it's just such a darkly powerful song. And the last few minutes of Anesthetize is pure beauty and so hypnotic.

[@L33Reacts]

I was absolutely mesmerized by the last few minutes…. Wonderful song. I’ll have to check out that song as well… I’m sorry there is bad attached to it for you 😢

[@Capitaomac1]

And that's why Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson are on my top 3 favorite currently active bands. Music like this is eternal.

[@L33Reacts]

Dude yeah this stuff is just otherworldly good. I can’t wait to hear more.

[@tdonger]

If there is a better drummer on this planet.... I haven't seen him

[@L33Reacts]

Dude is insane. The way he keeps everything together but still stands out on his own is crazy. I love it! 🤘🤘

[@progperljungman8218]

Yeah, def one of my top favs. Here's another one for ya (and I've actually been present to see Steven Wilson himself admiring him live...) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpqcqZSLd7CMa6ssi=95QyUqyN12yonLZw

[@richardpozyczka6047]

This one definately cuts deep bro... No need to apologise for showing emotions, that's what music is for in my opinion. I was crying right along with you dude, life is hard, and pretending it isn't will poison your soul. 🤟🤟🤟 P. S Fear of a blank planet next please....

[@L33Reacts]

It definitely cut me deep man. I needed it tho obviously! Lol. Your absolutely right man. I will definitely take a look at that track soon thanks bro

[@u11113901]

I agree 100%, this song/performance is amazing and touches you emotionally every time you hear it, especially the last part for me.

[@L33Reacts]

The ending definitely messed me up haha i thought I had got through the hard part but NOPE 😀😀😂😂😂

[@timmiller2913]

Music is catharsis for all of our emotions. It helps us cope, process and heal. All we need is the right song to hit us in our soul and it forever changes us.

[@L33Reacts]

Your absolutely right Tim. It’s one of the best healers in the world. It also is one of the best time traveling aids as well if you want to relive a moment 😂😂🤘

[@floridabelle]

❤ Please, no need to apologize for your emotions coming out. This one can, and does hit the feels hard. It was a beautiful reaction L33. I'm glad you didn't edit it.

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you belle. Yeah that was alot I’m not gonna lie haha. I don’t even know what did it exactly either.. that’s the funny part haha. I’m glad I didn’t either❤️ that was amazing.

[@floridabelle]

@@L33Reacts I feel that way when I hear certain Opeth songs. They just melt my heart, especially when I hear Mikael sing.

[@floridabelle]

@@L33Reacts Definitely proggier Opeth will do that to you too, as well as the ballad type. 'Faith in Others' for instance. And this coming from someone that doesn't much care for ballads. All of Mikael's though, are superb in my opinion. ********Until then though, h3ll yeah, I'm so excited for Watershed!!!*******

[@faultier3215]

@@L33Reacts Watershed is gonna be great. Its a really good album to make a full reaction to, since it doesnt really have those "hit songs" that Ghost reveries has, but it is an incredible piece of art, especially when beeing listened to as a whole!

[@nicolemelineilliannasimons8272]

Your crying made me cry too. I just wanted to hug you. This song is both amazing and beautiful. You don't ever have to apologize for showing your emotions. It only makes it more real and genuine to me 😉

[@L33Reacts]

Aw thank you 🥲🥲 I appreciate it. I needed a hug for sure in that moment haha.

[@martinegauthier9081]

Never apologize for being emotional. Music can bring so many things to the surface, it’s crazy! 🙂🙃 I’m leaving this comment about a year after your video aired (discovered your channel about a month ago), but if by chance you get to read it, I’d like to suggest 2 Porcupine Tree songs you haven’t reacted to yet, from their album "Stupid Dream": "Even Less" and "Stop Swimming". These 2 mind blowing songs make me emotional and they go so well together, they are absolutely worth every second of your time!!! I really really appreciate your channel, thank you for all that wonderful music!!!

[@MarkJones-mm3br]

Let the tears flow brother. We've all been there before while listening to Porcupine Tree.

[@thesoundship]

The whole Tilburg concert is amazing. I have cried a lot of tears to this songs too.

[@shiannesmith6877]

You’re amazing ❤ get those emotions out. ❤️

[@L33Reacts]

❤️❤️ I don’t know what it was 😂 but yeah this one got me. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@matheusleal8377]

What an incredible reaction man, I was mesmerized when I first listened to this song and still do even today. Never really cried tho (at least not externally), but this song deserves all the praise that it gets and more. Listening to PT is always like letting my soul embark on a long yet beautiful journey. Also I'm really looking forward for the Watershed reaction! Keep rocking!! \m/

[@alanwaine4186]

Loved your honesty and emotion for this fantastic performance ❤

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you Alan… yeah this was a hard one. Great music tho of course 🤘

[@djclaudeus]

When music hits in the feels.... nothing better! Thanks for sharing.

[@christiej13]

I'm glad you left this video as is.I reacted exactly the same way to this song and a lot of Porcupine Tree's other songs... they make you so emotional... like any phenomenal musicians would do! These guys are my absolute favorite band to listen to and I'm almost 60! I wish I heard of them way sooner !Steven Wilson is a genius and Barbieri...a wizard on those synths... all of them together add their craft and could not be better! I still cry every time I hear certain PT songs and love it! Thanks for sharing ..never apoogize for showing how music moves the soul ! Stay blessed!

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad I left it up as well… I rewatched it after reading your comment and I started crying again lol… I guess this really hit a tender spot. I love it. I’ve heard sooo many songs of theirs now and I love every one of them. Absolute master class in musicianship.

[@Majtzy]

I'm so happy you found Porcupine Tree and loved it. Always makes me happy seeing others experience the joy I feel myself of Porcupine Tree's beautiful genius.

[@L33Reacts]

I am very glad too 😊 they are a source of pure joy and introspection. I love Steven so much 🌞

[@infinite1444]

One of the best reactions to this track, thank you very much for sharing your emotions.

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you so much my friend. It means a lot. This is my personal favorite as a creator. I was very open and obviously had a lot on my mind. I'm glad I could share this with y'all.

[@jameskubica5463]

The amount of times I've teared up listening to them is astounding, they make you feel everything. The song they play right after this one never fails. It's called Sentimental, I would definitely recommend it especially the live version from this same show.

[@L33Reacts]

Yeah I definitely felt all the feels from this one. Can’t even put my finger on what exactly it was that did it either 😂 I will take a look! Thank you James🤘

[@rockmovieswithtyler1989]

It's ok had my cry today too! Great reaction my dude! 😎🤘🏻

[@scifimonkey3]

‘Waters so warm…………….’ one of the most beautiful sections in PTs repertoire and the end of that final section gets me every time. You are not the only one.

[@L33Reacts]

Yeah the ending hit me like a ton of bricks. Amazing musicianship

[@scifimonkey3]

@@L33Reacts Unfortunately missed your Halloween cut off but would throw in Nightwish ‘Shudder before the Beautiful’ live from Wembley 2015 and Architects ‘ Animals’ from Abbey road studios with orchestra for two new slants on metal to what you seem to have done so far. Hopefully you can add them to your list which I guess is already gigantic but both bands are so worth an introduction.

[@L33Reacts]

@@scifimonkey3 I love that song by architects actually! It was one of the few I liked off that album. But nightwish is new to me! I will take a look. Thanks bro!

[@brettblue]

I have listened to this song many times and it brings tears to my eyes every time. Great honest reaction Bro. I'm now a subscriber!

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you so much Brett!! Yeah this is a powerful piece of music…. So many emotions lol.

[@EiriUesugiKun]

15:57 - Don't worry, it's OK and that just shows that you are REALLY feeling the music!

[@EiriUesugiKun]

2:10 - Richard Barbieri is a magician on the keys. He was part of a band "Japan" back in the day, if you want to check them out take "Ghosts": kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavdfYhnltmiaNk

[@EiriUesugiKun]

19:47 - Don't be sorry. :) Your reaction, like I said earlier, shows that you are TRULY reacting to this great music and that you are willing to let the music move you.. As it should. :) Man, you are strogn letting the internet to see your pure, raw, emotional reaction and that is why we are here. PT is a journey. It is emotional. And it is deep (personal opinion). If possible, try to get the lyrics of the song(s) you are reacting at hand unless you feel that reading them would distract you from your true reactions. :)

[@johnpbh]

The best reaction to Anesthetize that I have ever seen... Simple. Songs can do that So glad it was there for you when you needed it. Keep on Rocking.

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you so much John. That means the world to me! I needed to hear this song in this moment. I needed to let some thing out obviously 🙄 🤣

[@petreek3611]

loved your reaction man, thank you

[@alphao5113]

What a reaction bro, PT def bring out emotions and you enjoyed every part of this masterpiece 👍

[@L33Reacts]

This is definitely a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Definitely brought me to my knees in a figurative sense

[@alienlifeform7490]

Music heals. Emotional purges are necessary to detoxify. This is why I enjoy reaction videos, seeing people have personal experiences which are often very spiritual in nature, revealing something we need to feel. Thank you.

[@stewartaubel3842]

I loved your reaction! I cry every time I listen to it. PT is my favorite newer generation prog rock band! Steven Wilson is genius. I studied him in all his incarnations. Some of his solo work after PT is next level stuff. The concert at the Royal Albert Hall is so amazing!

[@EiriUesugiKun]

15:38 - It is.. I also often has something in my eyes at this part...

[@sylvainmilcent3740]

I saw them live in Paris in november the 2nd last year for the new album "Closure/Continuation" Tour. "Anesthetize" was in the setlist. All the show was amazing. And "Trains" as a final was awesome !

[@HCXWinchester]

BROOOOO! I have stumbled across your arriving somewhere but not here reaction today and this was the second. I almost cried with you. This song is AMAZİNG and really emotional. DONT EVER feel sorry for crying and showing emotion, its just shows how sincere you are. You got one dedicated subscriber my friend :)

[@L33Reacts]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words my friend! This reaction was hard to post I'm not gonna lie but I'm glad I did. There will be plenty more PT reactions here, they might be my favorite new band I found on the channel... But keep that between us 🤣

[@FireMunki63]

You know you've come across music that is truly exceptional when it can move you in the way it did. Bravo, you've found that rabbit hole of music that is Steven Wilson & Porcupine Tree! Welcome

[@L33Reacts]

I listen to a lot of music on this channel and Porcupine Tree is tied for first with Tool as my favorite discoveries on here 😎 you are absolutely correct 🙏

[@alund1306]

It's all good man. This song got me through college in the late 2000's. Really don't know if I'd be here without it.

[@L33Reacts]

It’s some good shit for sure man. I needed that! Haha

[@baigadil]

A band with keyboard and synth will always sound more cosmic and fuller than guitar only bands! The spectrum of imagination and what emotions you can convey just got 10 fold with good keys!

[@Zombiezero4]

Definitely need to purchase all their albums! They are all amazing.

[@L33Reacts]

I really need too to do that. It would be nice to own something physical from these guys.

Great music, strong emotion in songwriting = tears. Happens to me too, a 58 year old dude, and I have heard it 100s of times.

[@L33Reacts]

I totally agree Scott there are a lot of great songs that get me misty eyed

[@lionoftwo]

Super react man...hugs from a fellow PT guy.....helped me through alot of shit i didn't expect man. Love all of PT....the one that did it for me (other than this song) was "Flicker" Something about the production and emotion about it....idk....hopefully this comment is not too late....KZbin can be lost....when we all move on to something else.

[@cwo5716]

I think the emotion is beautiful and I totally get it. Music made out of passion can do that. I think the last 40 seconds of this song is some of the most beautiful music ever written.

[@augusztleno7539]

Et oui !!!!! c' est magnifique !

[@michaelforsyth2039]

Wow what a humble reaction man, these guys pull my heart everytime, hard to explain but their music just gets inside me, Steven Wilson is just a genius! His solo stuff does the same! I’m glad you took this journey. Hope you stick with these guys, they have so much fantastic stuff out there, you want to see them all out then go for “hatesong” another live performance worth the watch, “way out of here” and “dark matter” also brilliant performances 😃 loved that reaction. 😉

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you so much Michael!! Yeah this one hit me hard… I don’t usually cry and especially on camera haha obviously I felt something deep from it. I’m definitely gonna continue down this road, it’s too good to get off! 😂

[@andrewedmonds5431]

I've watched this Tilburg performance so many times and I finally saw them live for the first time 6 days ago in London. When they played this I felt emotional too. I never thought I'd get to see them live as I only 'discovered' them in 2016 so there was no hope of any tour / new material then. What a gig and what a band. Such incredible musicians...

[@L33Reacts]

That's so awesome you got to see them! I'm really jealous haha a few other commenters have said the same thing so I'm happy for all of y'all! Such a great band an even better song.

[@dougdecloedt8450]

Welcome to one of the deepest and most rewarding music “Rabbit Holes” ever. And as a drummer, you were watching the genius of Mr. Gavin Harrison who IMO is one of the best progressive rock drummers ever. And if you start focusing & researching him as a drummer, welcome to what will probably become “Rabbit Hole” #2 for you. And, their music can bring the deepest human emotions right to the surface.
